Tsitsipas: “The most beautiful and pure tennis that can exist is played on clay courts”

As a painting canvas for an artist, he characterized the clay tennis courts o Stefanos Tsitsipas!

The Greek tennis player gave an interview to Team shortly before his title defense in Monte Carlo and spoke of his desire to compete on clay surfaces, stressing that they beautify the sport more as opposed to fast courts.

“This surface allows you to be more creative and approach the game with more strategy than hardcourts.

Fast courts require the player to be a machine, not to think and I think tennis is not just that” he initially emphasized and then mentioned that clay courts are like an artist’s canvas:

“When a pitch is fast it is almost impossible to build something in a few strokes, to have a plan with your strokes. On clay you can open corners, think about what you will do on the next hit. In short, you can play tactically.

This surface is like an artist’s canvas, where you can paint and bring out all the beauty of this sport. It produces the most beautiful and pure tennis possible” were the words of the 24-year-old No. 3 in the World Ranking.

It should be noted that his first game Tsitsipah in Monte Carlo he will be against the Frenchman and No48 in the world, Benjamin Bonzi.
